However, Hanoi later reduced its data by 2,350 households while 13 other localities added 18,833 ones.
As a result, the total number of households that need assistance under the Decision has now come to 379,920, of whom 177,313 need new houses.
Deputy PM Trinh Dinh Dung said the sharp increase in the number of households needing support will significantly affect the building of support plans.
Additionally, most localities only rely on the central budget for the work, he said, urging local authorities to actively seek funding from other sources.
The Deputy PM also requested localities to ensure transparency and fairness when listing beneficiaries of the policy.
Minister of Construction Pham Hong Ha suggested finalizing the number of beneficiary households at the end of May.
The arranged capital should be disbursed flexibly to complete this programme within two years or in 2017, he said .
